The Greatest Show on Earth
Richard Dawkins has a new book out on Evolution called “The Greatest Show on Earth.” Unlike his previous books where he tends to explain evolutionary theory as well a pick apart anti-evolutionary claims, this one seems to be more geared at laying out the mountain of evidence that supports the theory. This is a welcomed change of tone as I think his attitude over the years as been too aggressive in attacking those who attack Evolution. While I think it’s important to counter the false statements made attacking Evolution as well as the vast misinformation coming from Christian conservative circles, I find far too many people out there are rather ignorant of the evidence, regardless of where they actually stand on the subject.
With Science in general I think it’s important for us to be more inclusive to the public but also put the cards on the table and explain why we believe a theory is correct.
